Decluttering Shoes


One of my new year’s resolution is to get organized. In the days to come, I will be sharing with you, excerpts or lessons learned from reading a book on ‘decluttering’. Today, I started with my collection of shoes. According to the book, the best way to go through your shoe collection is to try them on. I found at least 10 pairs of shoes that no longer fit me. Instead of tossing them out, I will donate them to charity. If you are interested in donating running shoes, check out this link and choose a worthy organization to donate your used running shoes to. For other type of shoes, the Salvation Army or Goodwill will take your old shoes off you.

Talking about shoes, I dropped in to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets over the Christmas week. I had to try on the golf shoes at Ecco to see what the hype was. All the guys at Golf Town wear Ecco shoes and recommends them so I had to find out for myself whether they were worth the money or not. They were comfortable but I couldn’t get myself to pay more than $150 for a pair, even at outlet prices. Instead, I would choose a pair of Nike or Adidas shoes for comfort and value. From now to January 15th, click on the green banner on our site for “more than golf balls” and enter WINTERSALE as the promo code to save additional money.

Get Stiffed Free


It’s cold out there today! How cold is it? I went out to scrape the frost off my windshields and noticed that it was -22 degrees. I read yesterday on Yahoo! that the weather forecasters in the country think that’s the coldest Canada will get this winter. I doubt that very much, considering this is the coldest day yet and a long winter is ahead of us.

I would think that everybody is thinking of the same thing, get away this winter to Jamaica, Barbados, Cayman Islands or Phoenix. For those of you who are thinking of packing your golf clubs and going away to a place where they just overseeded the fairways, let me suggest that you take advantage of a free stiff arm when you buy a travel bag from Golf Town. A stiff arm is a gadget that resembles a ball retriever with a telescoping arm. It is used to prevent vertical impact to your golf bag or in plain english, prevent the top of your bag from bending and breaking your shafts.

There are soft and hard travel bags to choose from. If you check it out at Golf Town, you will see a dizzy array of bags. If you choose a soft bag then a stiff arm is highly recommended. Soft bags have the advantage of being lightweight and giving travellers the extra storage space to put dirty laundry or golf shoes in. Hard bags tend to give less room for extras but provide the greatest protection. Choose accordingly then enter the coupon: 08LB01 online to get your free stiff arm (valued at $34.95).
